Umathquad again - lots of mktexlsr errors

Umathquad again - lots of mktexlsr errors

[Hans van der Meer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 357 bytes --]

The ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. came up again.

Therefore decided to get new beta.
Now suddenly I get on the console what seem literaly hundredsds of thousands messages 
mktexlsr: : not a directory, skipping.
Has there been an infinite loop been crept in somewhere?

Used the scripts that always worked, nothing new.

 plus 

#!/bin/bash
curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
chmod a+x ./first-setup.sh
mkdir tex
cd tex
ln -s ~/Library/texmf texmf-local
cd ..
sh ./first-setup.sh >first-setup.log
exit

I had the impression two months ago that the offending reference causing the Umathquad should be removed shortly. Wasn't that a private euler reference in one of the developing systems? 

This is: ConTeXt  ver: 2011.06.26 13:23 MKIV  fmt: 2011.6.27  int: english/english
and it still seems to be there. Please, can this be remedied.

The problem is: I cannot find my notes on how to solve it!

Re: Umathquad again - lots of mktexlsr errors

[Hans van der Meer]

Ok, thanks. I understand the mktexlsr stuff is nothing serious.

But the "! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set." is very serious. I tried several things, as mtxrun --generate ; context --make en". Nothing good. I thought I remembered something about an opentype font euler.otf. But putting it somewhere in one of the font folders and regenerating doesn't work either.
I getting a bit nervous now....

Latest minimals has still the mktexlsr error,
but I'm not able to reproduce  "! Math error: parameter
\Umathquad\displaystyle is not set."  --- do you have an example ?

Re: Umathquad again

[Hans van der Meer]

Some more experimenting did the trick, finally. (I must not forget to document it well this time ;-)

(1) the opentypefont euler.otf in font-tree, accessible by ConTeXt.
(2) mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then I can regenerate the format and get good ConTeXt runs again.
As to the cause of this. I dug up a mail-exchange with Taco Hoekwater, him telling me there was some leftover reference to this euler.otf font that was unnecessary. I have mailed him, to ask if he can remove that reference.

As general rule, if you are lost:
1)  texmf-project and its' subfolders are unchanged by first-setup.sh;
you can hence copy the directory structure of texmf/fonts into texmf-project
I.e. you if you have a microsoft foo.otf, you can copy into
texmf-project/fonts/opentype/microsoft/foo.otf
and it will stay here until you delete it
3) you *must* run
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
when you install new fonts or delete old fonts into the minimals.

It's not necessary to rebuild  the format when you install the fonts.

What is your font definition? do you define a proper math font?

it looks like mktexlsr has a bug

- when run with "" on windows it tries to hash /
- when run on linux with "" it loops

any unknown path does this

so, i think that maybe when there is an empty path given or in the texmf 
spec, that this problem surfaces

Can you find out what the complete path spec is that is used for the 
loop? (It looks like TEXMFDBS is used .. I wonder why not TEXMF as it 
makes no sense to use another variable.)

The next time the while is executed, the same condition on the path  is
checked again and found true (i.e. it doesn't exist).

 The path spec are or a treefile rooted on ${TMPDIR/tmp} or, if it doesn't
exist , the paths given by
kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R
